Past, present, and future collide as the men of The Spoon assess their own story so far (complete with audio flashbacks!) and look toward the chapters yet to come, all while giving 2011 the arse-kicking out the door that it so richly deserves. Plus, the director's cut of "Billy Squier: Sodomizing A Legacy" is finally aired, and anthropological answers to your cuisine-related questions. Enjoy! Music by Candypants and The Brothers Figaro.

They may be overeager to put 2011 in the rear-view mirror, but the men of The Spoon still have room in their hearts (and time on their hands) to dissect caroling culture, Canadian winter, the anti-cool of A Capella groups, a permanent geographical fix for the Northeastern US, one of the worst "bad date" stories in the history of ever, and even spare a thought for their favorite Christmas memories, as they toggle smoothly from resentful to accepting of the Holiday fatigue that attends us all. Plus, poems and songs. Happy Birthday, Jebus! Music by Elton Duck, Love Nut, and our fair trio themselves.

Johnny Dam is on a mission to educate the men of The Spoon, and provide a rousing wave of slow claps when and if any lessons sink in. Items on the syllabus include the difference between comics and comedians, the downside of human evolution, practical advice on celebrity impersonations, and important criteria for determining the Sexiest Woman Alive. Also, praise for artists who get a second act, and befuddlement over some that got a first one. Music by Johnny Angel Wendell, Chris Von Sneidern, and Vinyl Candy.

The achievements of Bill Holmes are already the stuff of legend,but successfully giving himself a nickname is surely his zenith. Join "Poppy", along with conversational companions Sean "Jilly" Brennan, Chris "Mitch"Jackson, Thom "Who?" Bowers and Robbie "Robbie!!!" Rist, as they plumb the comic cases and whimsical whatnots of movie medication, animal allegories, real-doll relationships, and other alliteratives as well. Plus, C-bombs! Music by Terry Anderson, Rubber City Rebels,Jamie Hoover & Boll Lloyd.
